Exercises at Your Workstation: Eyes, Neck, and Head

Breathe deeply as you do your exercises. Inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth.

Tired eyes? Stiff neck? A few easy moves can help prevent these kinds of problems. Take a few minutes during your day to do these exercises—right at your desk. They'll loosen up your muscles, keep you more alert, and make a big difference in how you work and feel.

For Your Eyes

Eye Cup

Lean forward with your elbows on your desk.

Cup your hands and place them lightly over your closed eyes. Hold for a minute, while breathing deeply in and out.
